Can anyone lend me some keys to good Mode 7 engines? Im trying to make a kart racer similar to Super Mario Kart, yet I need a mode 7 engine that can render map data.
Mode7 isn't really the key choice for making a game as it's really slow and is really hard to work with. It would probably be almost impossible to make a Mario cart game with one.
BTW, there's a copycat of F-ZERO called F-NEKO. Good racing game, but you can't really appreciate the map because it looks pixelated as hell.
Trust us: You don't really want Mode7 for full games.
